The results are in and it’s not good. A recent LinkedIn survey shows that most employees can only envision themselves at their current company for less than 2 years. This means that you will spend resources to hire, train and nurture a potential staff member, only to have them quit just as they are getting the hang of things.

One of the main pratfalls of any working environment is high staff turnover. You spend time and resources in finding the best person for the job – and then they leave within a year. Most companies place high priority on interview techniques and headhunting. But what is perhaps more important than hiring is the ability to retain that talent. Employee retention is one of the cornerstones of a highly productive workplace. Ensuring that staff feels engaged and satisfied with their daily operations will inevitably lead to an efficient and successful working environment.
